Firefox fans who’ve updated to the latest version and are waiting patiently for Google Toolbar compatibility, we’ve got some bad news – Google isn’t playing ball.
First of all, we’d like to thank all of our loyal users of Google Toolbar for Firefox. We deeply appreciate all of the feedback over the years that helped to make the product so useful. As we all know, over the past few years, there has been a tremendous amount of innovation in the browser space. For Firefox users, many features that were once offered by Google Toolbar for Firefox are now already built right into the browswer. Therefore, while Google Toolbar for Firefox works on versions up to and including Firefox 4 only, it will not be supported on Firefox 5 and future versions. Please see our Help Center for additional details.

It’s clear that Google wants users to jump on board the Chrome revolution, although fair play to the Big G for not being too pushy – it has provided Firefoxers a handy links page to download add-ons to replicate many of the toolbar features.
